Guiding Condominium Communities

to a Superior Condo Experience

"When you buy a condo, you are buying shares in a corporation; the corporation will give you a place to live in exchange for your shares and just like in a public corporation, it has more than one shareholder who all have a say in how it is run."

Condominium Pre-Purchase Document Reviews

You're considering spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new home. A proper pre-purchase document review will save you thousands of dollars because condominium purchases are far more complicated than a single detached home.

We will make sure you have as much information as possible to make an informed purchasing decision, resolve issues and negotiate better terms before you buy with fewer costly surprises.

Many buyers are not aware of what it means to be a condominium owner and a proper review will provide a quick and beneficial education in an easy-to-understand report for any potential buyer.

we review the following doucments

puchase agreement

estoppel certificate

statement of claims

information document

restrictive covenants

condominium contributions (fees)

monthly and yearly financials

reserve fund study

special assessments

corporation loans

building reports

Condominium Board Member Consulting

The condominium property act has many requirements for the condominium corporation, the board of directors, and its officers.

“Every member of a board, in exercising the powers and performing the duties of the office of a member of the board, shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.”

“A corporation is responsible for the enforcement of its bylaws and the control, management and administration of its real and personal property, the common property and managed property.”

Every board member is obliged to acquire the knowledge necessary to perform their duties and responsibilities as a member of the board.

we consult on the following:

condominium PROPERTY act
